I know the answer is probably no ... but has anyone with 3 A's as AS (or less) been interviewed yet? Or has anyone with 3 A's even applied? :/

No, I haven't. I'm predicted 95% average.


WOW, thats extremely scary... a 95% average is the BEST mark one could get.... I wonder why the admissions would turn down SUCH A MARK???? go call them or smthg :frown: and find out why.

Out of interest, what is the written pre-task is it ethical/scientific and how hard is it? Do they give you much time?

its a 15 minute interview, mine was kind of 10 mins medical stuff and 5 minutes extra curriculas. i was on the first day of interviews and didnt get a task thing but they are doing them now i think and ive heard they are scientific and can be quite hard sometimes. im sure they give you enough time to think it through, but maybe get there a bit early so you have the max time available? :smile:

Got a rejection today with no interview. :frown:


So sorry to hear that you've been unsuccessful in your application to Birmingham but remember that you still have everywhere else. I know it feels awful (the first thing I heard of was a rejection from KCL before I even had any interviews) but try not to think about it and move on, focus on the rest of your application and getting the best grades in your high school exams.

Best of luck.

Got an email today inviting me to interview, but need to specify what dates are suitable and they said that they'd be interviewing between January and March. I take it that's for people like me who have to travel far for the interviews?

Thank you :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin: Good Luck to everyone with interviews coming up. I was terrified but they were really nice and they didn't grill me, as I said in an earlier post it was like a chat :smile: so please don't worry too much. I didn't have a task
